Welcome from our Nursery Manager, Miss Debbie
Hello, my name is Miss Debbie. I am the Manager of Eco Montessori at Norman Court. I have worked in Early years for over 13 years. I started my journey as a volunteer in a small rural Pre-School where I studied and worked my way up through every position ending up as Manager for many years. I then experienced working in a busy setting and create an outdoor Forest School provision.
During my time in early years, I have achieved many qualifications such as my Level 3 and 5 in early years education, trained SENCO and worked hard on a unit to be able to coordinate special educational needs` I trained as a Norwegian Woodland Practitioner then completed my Forest School level 3 leadership qualification.
I have three main passions:
One – To support children and families with additional needs. I find this very rewarding and love to see children’s progress.
Two – To work in partnership with parents. Parents are the key to their children succeeding and I enjoy building relationship with each and every one working together and sharing ideas.
Three – Outdoor learning is my absolute favourite. I love nothing more than getting children outside in all weathers and allowing them to get to know and understand the world we live in. I allow children to take managed risks such as using real tools (hammers, bows, saws and whittling to name a few) and when they are ready to use fire strikers and build fires. Being outside with no toys allows children to use their imagination, senses, gross and fine moto skills. They can climb, run, build and explore while being free and learning so many valuable life skills during play.
I enjoy watching children explore nature, where they can begin to really understand life cycles and seasons.
My favourite environment is one without walls. One where children can lead and extend their own learning and play with only natural resources around them.
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family: my husband, my 3 beautiful children and my crazy Springer Spaniel Oberon. I also have a cat called lee lee and 3 tortoises Sammy, Bubbles and Bob.
